Chicago--Approximately 100,000 people were forced to evacuate Grant Park in Chicago for an hour Sunday afternoon on the third day of Lollapalooza due to the possible threat of a severe storm.

The announcement was made at stages across the park, including the Samsung Galaxy stage at 2:35 p.m., about the time that George Ezra was set to start. The news prompted screams of expletives from fans, and scores of people stayed put in the field in front of the EDM stage Perry's. But the vast majority peacefully complied with the evacuation, with dozens singing along together to "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" on the Balbo Avenue bridge. | Aug. 2, 2015 4:13 p.m.»Read Full Article
